Image Retoucher
Location: Singapore
Introduction
We’re looking for an experienced Image Retoucher with a strong eye for detail, colour and composition. You’ll bring product and model imagery to a polished, consistent finish across e-commerce, campaigns and social content.
This is a hands‑on role for someone who can work independently, interpret creative feedback and deliver high-quality images without compromising natural skin texture or product accuracy. You’ll also bring a creative flair for product and still life photography, with an eye for lighting, styling and composition. Experience with jewelry and other small, reflective products is especially valuable.
Image retouching & colour
- Retouch product, model, still life and campaign imagery for web, social and marketing.
- Clean up skin while preserving realistic texture, natural features and consistent skin tones.
- Refine jewelry and product images, including metal, gemstones, reflections, edges and fine details, while maintaining accurate colour, finish and shape.
- Correct colour casts, exposure and tonal balance; match approved references across image sets.
- Refine backgrounds, remove distractions and adjust crops or compositions to suit the brief.
- Apply advanced masking, compositing and non-destructive editing techniques where needed.
Quality control & delivery
- Review images at both detail and final-output scale for clean edges, natural blending, colour accuracy and consistency.
- Translate creative feedback into precise revisions and raise questions when direction is unclear.
- Prepare exports to the agreed dimensions, formats, colour profiles and naming conventions.
- Organise layered working files, versions and approved assets for clear handover.
- Manage multiple briefs and deadlines; flag risks or capacity issues early.
Collaboration & improvement
- Work closely with photographers, creative leads and designers to understand the visual direction and deliver consistent results.
- Contribute to retouching references, quality checklists and repeatable workflows.
- Identify recurring quality issues and recommend practical ways to reduce revision rounds while maintaining standards.
- Use approved retouching or AI-assisted tools responsibly, checking that automated edits do not alter product details or create unnatural results.
Who You Are
- Substantial professional experience retouching commercial, fashion, beauty or product imagery, with a portfolio demonstrating independent, high-quality work.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, including precise masking, layers, colour correction and non-destructive workflows; working knowledge of Lightroom or Capture One.
- Strong skin‑retouching skills and an eye for natural texture, tone and facial detail.
- Experience handling small or reflective products and maintaining material, colour and shape accuracy; jewelry experience is highly valued.
- Strong understanding of colour, highlights, shadows, composition and consistency across a series.
- Ability to interpret visual references, apply feedback accurately and identify issues before submission.
- Strong file management, communication and deadline management.
- Based in Singapore.
Nice to have
- Experience delivering high‑volume e-commerce imagery alongside campaign or editorial assets.
- Experience creating retouching guidelines, reviewing image quality or improving production workflows.
- Familiarity with AI‑assisted retouching tools and their limitations.
